    Alright guys those weird shortening websites do they work in 2020? I've been curious about this topic for some time now, do they actually pay or just spam?
    Would love to hear your thoughts!

    Well i think it works but why to loose time working for cents instead of real bucks . Lets make some calculation if you get 1000 visitors with shortening links you will get aproximative 7$ plus when people skip content they get many anoying browser tabs ,malware etc and upset people .
    Now lets supose you are involved in affiliate marketing and you get 1000 visits to your affiliate link then you will easy 3 sales so lets supose products its 30$ then you get 90$ of earning and you can get a better conversion rate .Plus you can build a realtionship with that people and you can build a list . So take the conclusion yourself

    That is EXACTLY what I was thinking! Why in the world would someone wasts his/her time in shortening links while he/she can provide value via a product of his own, or an affiliate link you've stated, or a service.
    Thank you for sharing your thoughts Spartan.

    I had no idea that link shortening services even paid anything at all. You learn something new everyday. No clue that you could monetize shortened links. Cool information. I don't know how it works but, maybe I can look into it. I thought that they just shortened your link to look better when you share it.

    Some of them pay actually, and have testimonials too, the problem is that you need a humongous amount of traffic to gain some bucks, it's tedious if you're a busy man. Also, it's almost impossible to distinguish between authentic websites and scammers! Wish you all of luck man.

    It's not worth your time. And most of them are scams.

    Shortening links would be suspicious for the visitors because of its unknown url parameters. It would be more effective if you have seo friendly url for the users.

    Hello! I am currently developing a link shortening service where anyone can place their own ads. The service is designed for SEO, as you can use 301 redirects, as well as for bloggers, where your ad will be displayed.

    The backend is almost ready, link shortening are working, ads can be placed, I'm finishing some more functionality for SEO and if you're interested, I'll let you know when it's launched.

    Normally I don't click short links. No guarantee where it lands, and that can be a problem sometimes.

    People usually don't click on short links as they are not aware of the domain it is being directed. Moreover, it is simply a waste of time. There are other things to do and utilize the time.
